Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Nexus Phase

Mr. Donal Forde:

No, it wouldn't even come ... it wouldn't even be referred to me. The credit committee essentially, I think I make reference to it in my statement, in the pre-2005 period, the credit committee ... our divisional credit committee had discretion up to €40 million, I think it was, so they would've approved cases up to €40 million. Approved meant approved, and that was the at the decision of the chief credit officer. If it exceeded that amount, it then had to be passed to the group credit committee, and the group credit committee would then review that case and it would pass a decision on it and if it passed a certain threshold there, it had to go to the chief executive of the board. So, I wasn't ... never had a sight of individual credit cases.
